Can you get a camera that top quality photo's without the expense of an SLR? Is there such a camera?

I would love an SLR but my it is out of the budget.

No. If you want top quality digital images, you need a DSLR and some expensive glass. You can get pretty good images out of some compacts, but not top quality. You get what you pay for when it comes to cameras really.

This is probably a dumb question but I am very new to all of this.

You can get nice photos out of a higher end compact with a larger sensor. These include the Canon A630/640/650, the G7/G9 and the Fuji F series cameras.

Just remember that the photographer's ability is more important that the camera when it comes to getting great photos.
